At least eight people have lost their lives and another 14 have been injured in an airstrike carried out by Israel in the town of Ain Yacoub, located in the far north of Lebanon, just 12 kilometers from the border with Syria. This attack, which occurred in an area where Israeli bombings are infrequent, has generated significant shock in the region.
The Emergency Operations Center of the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health confirmed the number of casualties in a brief statement: “The attack by the Israeli enemy in Ain Yacoub-Akkar resulted in an initial toll of eight martyrs and fourteen wounded.”
The Lebanese National News Agency (ANN) reported that the target of the attack was a home in this town, which has taken in many displaced individuals fleeing violence from other parts of the country.
The Emergency Operations Centre of the Ministry of Public Health issued a statement announcing that the Israeli enemy’s incursion into Ain Yaqoub – Akkar resulted, according to preliminary estimates, in the deaths of eight martyrs and the wounding of 14 others.”

The Akkar region, considered relatively safe, has been attacked on few occasions since the start of the current bombing campaign by Israel on September 23. This offensive has primarily focused on southern and eastern Lebanon, as well as the southern suburbs of Beirut.
In a recent report, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health revealed that in the last 24 hours, 54 people have died in the country, most as a result of an attack in a town in the Mount Lebanon region.
Since the onset of the conflict over a year ago, the total number of dead has risen to 3,243, including 201 children. The recent escalation of violence has forced more than 1.2 million people to flee their homes, according to official government figures.
